Shirley Anne Walker (née Rogers; April 10, 1945 – November 30, 2006) was an American film and television composer and conductor. She was one of the few female film score composers working in Hollywood during her career. Walker was one of the first female composers to earn a solo score credit on a major Hollywood motion picture (preceded by Suzanne Ciani for 1981's The Incredible Shrinking Woman) and according to the Los Angeles Times, is remembered as a pioneer for women in the film industry.[2][3]
Walker often wrote her film scores entirely by hand,[4] and always orchestrated and conducted her own scores by herself.
She won two Emmy Awards during her career, while the ASCAP Shirley Walker Award was created in her honor in 2014.
